PATTERN MODE 2. Recording 2. Recording Although the RM1x comes equipped with many preset phrases, it also allows you to record your own user phrases. You use the Phrase Recording submode to make these recordings. The RM1x offers two general recording methods: realtime recording and step recording. With realtime recording, the RM1x operates as a tape recorder, recording the performance data as it is played. This allows you to catch all the nuances of an actual performance. With step recording, you input the phrase one note at a time, almost as if you were writing the notes down on a music sheet. This allows you to create complex phrases without having to play them in real time at the keyboard. Preparing to Record or PATCH mode, you will need to start from the PATTERN mode in order to select the style to be recorded and the recording mode (REPLACE, OVERDUB, STEP, or GRID - described separately below). 3 Use display knob 1 to select the style you want to record to (only user styles - U01 ... U50 - are recordable). 4 Use the Length parameter to specify the length of the phrase you intend to record, and the time signature parameter to select the desired time signature. These changes can only be made for "empty" patterns (patterns can be cleared by using the Clear Pattern job - page 98). 5 Press REC e to engage the record standby mode. The red REC e button indicator will light and the PATTERN mode display will appear as shown below. 1 Go to the VOICE submode and assign the voice(s) you want to use to the track(s) you intend to record, as described on page 63. 2 Return to the PATTERN mode.

At this point you can also use display knob 1 to determine whether the pattern will loop or not during recording.
